My favorite bit from the 96 election is that Yeltsin had a 90+% population turnout in Chechnya, which at the time was still at the tail end of the First Chechen War, and absolutely everyone there hated Yeltsin's guts.

Dreddout posted:Since when are soccer mom's proletariat Since literally always? Inasmuch as you can make an exception for upper middle class/upper class soccer moms, that argues against Marx's straightforward idea of class struggle. But the average mom taking her kids to soccer is absolutely proletarian.
